This ain’t your ordinary ‘Stang. Kinetic Motorsports out of Buford, Georgia has built this Saleen Mustang from the
ground up to compete in the 2006 Grand American Rolex GT Sports Car Series. It features the company’s own tube frame
chassis and carbon-composite body panels, as well as a supercharged version of the Pony’s 4.6L V8 producing 500 hp and
480 lb-ft of torque. A lower curb weight of 3,100 libbies should help the driver hustle all that muscle around a track
much quicker than before. Oh, and apparently Sammy Hagar is involved somehow. Perhaps he provides complimentary Cabo
Wabo tequila to the team before every race.
